Just as body language and personal gestures are expressions of our personality, so is our handwriting. Whether we are writing or printing or scribbling or doodling, it is the brain expressing itself by hand through hundreds of different symbols and strokes. That trail of ink that we leave as we move the pen across the page tells our story.

In this presentation/workshop you will discover

How do I stop those gremlins from chattering in my ear at night?

Why do some people act the way they do?

No one listens to me!

Are they lazy, or is it just me?

Who are the sensitive ones?

What does my signature say about me?

In this presentation or workshop, a better understanding of the analysis of handwriting or printing is achieved by looking at ‘the trail of ink’ that we leave as our pen travels across the page.

Each participant will look at personality traits in their own handwriting or printing to achieve greater self-awareness.

Each member of the group is allowed to maintain privacy of their writing or printing at all times. Sharing their personality traits with others in the group is optional, not mandatory.

Learn to understand your teammates better through the analysis of your own handwriting and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) techniques.

Receive answers to the following questions:

Why do I get along better with one colleague rather than with another?

Am I sending out positive or negative signals to my co-workers, colleagues, friends and family members?

What are my goal-setting abilities?

How can I maximize my ability to ‘get into step’ with others

Who are the team players?

Discover other elements

compatibility challenges that lead to potential stress

find out what non-verbal signals you are using to communicate

thinking processes and the compatibility issues that arise

energy levels

motivators in the personality

In this workshop, a better understanding of self and colleagues is achieved by creating awareness of the variety of ways that people operate in their model of the world.

Each participant will look at personality traits in their own handwriting or printing that impact issues of team building and compatibility. Information is shared with other participants on a voluntary basis only. Each member of the group is allowed to maintain privacy of their writing or printing at all times.

"Thank you so
much for the dynamic handwriting presentation. Dozens of our
clients have taken the time to call, email and write us to tell
us how much they enjoyed the evening. I think the part that
impressed them the most was your tremendous knowledge, and the
extent to which your skills and knowledge have application to
their businesses. As you know, most of the audience consisted
of very senior managers and executives - a tough group at the
best of times - and you won over each and every one of them."

You made everyone feel so comfortable in asking any questions and peppered your "talk" with tons of humour. You were such a big hit with the group and left some mighty big shoes to fill. Thank you, so much, for spending the lunch hour and afternoon with us. It was a stimulating day!"

"Your graphoanalyst skills certainly added a fun yet professionally useful aspect to our annual Christmas get-together. Several Toronto Chapter ACP members commented on your impressive ability to provide quite a window on their motivations and outlook. I too was amazed at how accurately you were able to analyze my personality from only a few written lines. Thank you once again for enhancing our 2008 Seasonal Celebration at the Turf Lounge.."

“…….Mary Ann was the keynote speaker at the Professional Assistants’ Conference operated by the Ontario Public Supervisory Officials’ Association in Toronto in November of 2003. She was selected because of her presentation – ranging from humour to professional advice and tied together by her central theme of handwriting analysis. Fast-paced delivery, interaction with the audience and interesting content made this presentation just what was needed for the audience. It is a pleasure to recommend Mary Ann Matthews as a quality presenter."
